    Question am i stupid

    im probly the only person daft enough but how many people would drive with only 2 studs in there wheel, i cant get it in the garage for at least another week? should i:
    A) carry on driving
    b) use public transport for a week but still have to drive it to the garage next week any way
    all 4 studs are in but threads fooked on 2 holes in the hub and studs just wont tighten fully
